Assassin’s Creed Syndicate é um jogo de ação e aventura com fortes elementos de RPG. Sendo na minha opinião o equilíbrio perfeito de RPG no Gameplay de AC, um gameplay que se atualiza constantemente com XP, existindo barras de vida em seus oponentes, mas ainda assim podemos assassinar eles com 1 único hit, ao atingirmos o nível certo ou utilizando a tática certa, não sendo um gameplay descaracterizado de Assassin’s como na trilogia RPG que terminou agora no Vallhala.

A nova mêcanica desse jogo é um rápel/tirolesa que podemos usar pra subir mais rápido e percorrer longas distancias ainda no telhado. O que é viciante, mas outra nova mecânica é as carruagens que são muito ais velozes pra chegar de ponto A ao ponto B, e que graças a deus você pode matar pessoas a rodo sem dar dessincronização quando está nela.

Outra novidade é a existência de uma arvore de skills, tendo 3 skills exclusivas pra cada um dos irmãos frye, essa arvore é fantástica pra progressão do gameplay, pois ela lhe da vantagens e novas formas de assassinar, porém ter ou não ela completa não compromete seu gameplay, pois no nv 1 ao nv 10 você é um assassino apto a matar qualquer oponente, mas existe 1 skill que eu acho roubada, a da sua carruagem acelerar mais que a dos oponentes, essa é fundamental pra ganhar boa parte das corrida que são o ponto mais dificil do jogo.

Fora essas novidades temos também as missões de sequestro em que devemos chegar até o alvo furtivamente e clicar B ou Bolinha pra sequestra-lo e assim levar ele seja na carruagem ou correndo (o que abre parênteses aqui, eu só descobri que dava pra correr enquanto sequestrava o alvo na última missão de sequestro, foi uma tortura essas missões pra mim), outra missão é a de limpar o territorio matando todos os inimigos , temos também a de assassinar 1 ou 2 alvos e por fim a de libertar crianças escravizadas, em que entramos matando o alvo, e aproximamos de cada grupo de criança os libertando.

Mas a maior novidade pra mim nas missões, são as oportunidades super na vibe de Hitman 2016 que saiu posteriormente inclusive, mas elas só ocorrem nas missões finais de uma memória que é o único ponto negativo, pois é mt legal ter 3 narrativas diferentes de como fazer a missão seguindo missões ou oportunidades agregando no fator replay e muito.

A história do jogo é a mais rápida de concluir da franquia pelo que lembro, e muito contida, mas os protagonistas irmãos fryer fazem ela valer cada segundo, Ive é uma assassina completa porém uma pessoa muito fechada, ela não tem o carisma do irmão com as pessoas, enquanto Jacob é carismático e engraçado, mas é mt impulsivo causando muito caos e por isso sempre usava ele, pq eu definitivamente não fui feito pro stelfh, eu preferi matar todos os inimigos pra impedir que eles me vejam, do que me esconder.

No geral é um jogo muito bom, e uma dica lutem bastante no clube de luta, da muito xp e é um bom treinamento pro combate do jogo, que é difícil nas primeiras horas mas dps que você o domina é mamão com açúcar. E o desfecho dessa história foi épico.

Nota Final 7/10

Apretty standard AC experience. This game came out when burnout from the franchise's unending releases was really setting in, and the evolution of the series past this point shows that. Still, Syndicate hits all the marks of a solid AC game, with a great setting, some fun characters, and well designed assassination missions. The rest of the game kind of pads out the experience, not really offering too much to hold onto.

If you're a fan of the series, this game is more of the same, and I don't think non-fans will find anything here that really converts them.

I was a huge fan of Assassin's Creed for several years. Unity was my last experience with the franchise, and it already lost its "magic". 6 years later, I bought Syndicate on PC and I was extremely convinced that it would be a fun game. You know, when Unity came out there was all this controversy about Assassin's Creed games coming out once per year and how this was not helpful for the quality of the product and for the game devs as well. When Unity came out, it was a disaster. It was full of bug, glitches, the game would crash very often, and this situation was labeled as the result of crunch and not enough development time. So Syndicate was actually the last Assassin's Creed game to come out just one year later from its predecessor. At the time it came out there were plenty of good reviews, saying it was a step forward in the right direction from Unity, and that was more enjoyable and blablabla. Now, after playing for quite some time, after 16 hours on PC, I found myself very bored. I even bought Unity on PC to try it out and... my god. I played it for like 30 hours in 5 days. Syndicate uses the same engine as Unity and it borrows many things of its gameplay, but it just feels even more unpolished that Unity was. Movement feels more clunky, stealth not as effective, London is stunning and it remains a feast for the eyes even many years later, but it feels boring to move from one place to the other. Parkour doesn't seem so well implemented as it was in other games, and that's because now we got... carriages. Don't misunderstand me, I love that Ubisoft tried to implement a new way to move around the map, but for me it just doesn't work. Every time a mission asks me to use a carriage and follow someone, or defend a NPC while driving, it bores me. The concept of switching between Jackob and Evie it's very interesting though, I liked it but I ended up playing as Evie for most parts of the game because I prefer a stealthy gameplay. I don't know, I really thought I'd like Syndicate, but while playing it, I just missed the old Assassin's Creed core gameplay. For me, Unity was already going in a direction I wasn't a fan of, and Syndicate diverted once again from what I really liked about Assassin's Creed. The story didn't interest me at all, Jacob and Evie had some charisma, but in the end I didn't like them as much I liked Ezio, Edward or even Arno. I'll give a last chance to the franchise with Assassin's Creed Origins, since my friends recommended it to me for its story.

i am so mixed on this one ngl. on one hand, i enjoyed the story even if it was a lot goofier than the rest. i think its far ahead of Unity for that but is below every other games story in terms of impact. for the first time, ever i think, the game made me empathize with both people during a whole "grr we need to split up rn!!! oh we beat the bad wanna hang out :))" song and dance. jacob is an ass (<3) but he just went through a dramatic ass breakup, give him a second. so good on Ubisoft i guess. all the stars are for all the dumb smiles this game gave me. the ending did feel a little bit.. weird to me tbh. the Assassins have generally been depicted as like... modern-day progressive regardless of time period. like no one reacting to Ned for example. so it felt kinda weird for them to see Miss Famine Queen herself and go "holy shit!! lemme do shit for you !!". it just kinda took me out of it

The gameplay, however? AWFUL. Felt like i was fighting the game more then the Templers. its hard to describe the feeling of trying to climb up a building but the game refusing to let you do it without playing it. i think they knew this and added in the grappling hook so you dont have to do parkour to get on things. in the Assassins Creed game. but that's okay because you'll barely spend any time doing parkour in this game so!!! the horse and carriage is really the only way to get around places. for a game that has so many options of travel (walking, parkour, train, boat, horse and carriage) it kinda sucks that you only use one. during a tailing mission i kept failing due to the controls and so eventually i gave up and stole a carriage and passed it first go. it feels like it almost wants to punish you for playing an assassins creed game... like an assassins creed game?

as such i really dont know how to rate this. good story but not as memorable, shitty mechanics but overall had a good time? 2 and a half is kinda inconsistent with other reviews (3 is far better then this due to its memorable story and actually functioning parkour) but it feels right. oh and another half off for everyone going "yaass girlboss" at queen victoria
